After a couple of issues that mentioned an upcoming price hike, this is the final issue of Marvel Age with a $0.50 cover price. That price stood for just over three years — but fans who picked up this issue were probably pleased to see in Salicrup's Section that the new price would not be a full dollar, as previously announced, but $0.75 instead! Not only that, but the issue included a subscription coupon with readers' last chance to get on board at the old price.
Marvel Age #78
